Title 14 CFR Part 157 mandates that all âpersons proposing to construct, alter, activate, or deactivate a civil or joint-use (civil/military) airport or to alter the status or use of such an airportâ must notify the FAA before any construction, alteration, or change to the status or use of an airport. Airports submit this information using FAA Form 7480-1, Notice for Construction, Alteration and Deactivation of Airports, or its online equivalent. The collection is reporting and occurs on occasion as needed. The collection requires proponents to report and certify the purpose of the notification; the name, location, use, and type of landing area affected; landing area data; and operation data, including number of based aircraft and average number of landings.
The FAA uses the information collected when:
⢠Determining the effect the proposed action will have on existing airports and on the safe and efficient use of airspace by aircraft.
⢠Determining the effects the proposed action will have on existing or contemplated traffic patterns of neighboring airports.
⢠Determining the effects the proposed action will have on the existing airspace structure and projected programs of the FAA.
⢠Determining the effects that existing or proposed manmade objects (on file with the FAA) and natural objects within the affected area will have on the airport proposal.
Proponents are also required to notify the FAA by letter or by FAA Form 5010-5 within 15 days after completion of the project. The FAA requires this notification because many proposals are never completed for reasons pertinent only to the sponsor. The confirmation of the completion of the project is needed in order to identify the cancelled proposals, so as to release any airspace that may have been reserved and to update aeronautical charts and flight information publications. The collection/burden for Form 5010-5 falls under a different collection (OMB Control Number 2120-0015).
It is anticipated that the information collected will be disseminated to the public or used to support publicly disseminated information in aeronautical charts and flight information publications. FAA Office of Airports will retain control over the information and safeguard it from improper access, modification, and destruction, consistent with FAA standards for privacy and electronic information. See response to Question 10 of this Supporting Statement for more information on confidentiality and privacy. The information collection is designed to yield data that meet all applicable information quality guidelines.

The burden for this collection is being adjusted to reflect fewer submissions and higher costs for respondents. Increasing wages and increased cost in the price of first-class mail have resulted in an increase to both the wage and material costs to respondents. Within the aviation industry, there has been significant interest in the establishment and expansion of vertiports to Advanced Air and Urban Air Mobility for commercial purposes.
